* @reepush changed all array and generator comprehensions to iterators and standards compliant javascript thus making vimeprator work with firefox 46* @amlitzer made iabbr work in contenteditable text boxes* @amlitzer add *PluginsLoadPost* autocmd event* @timss Split Vimperator syntax highlighting to seperate repo: https://github.com/vimperator/vimperator.vim* @pale3 add mapping <S-Insert> for pasting from clipboard or primary selection. This action is operating system dependent. On linux it will paste from primary selection, but on other systems it will paste from clipboard. For reverting to old style, use example in :h <S-Insert>

* @kmorihiro fixed background color theming for statusline* @kmorihiro fixed broken (hidden) hints* @gkatsev fixed some validator warnings* @quicksaver various findbar fixes* @quicksaver various tabview fixes for firefox 45* @mnphnic expose some properies globally that were hidden because of const/let transition* @SammysHP added a statuslinevisibility option. Also called slv. The three options are `auto`, `visible`, and `hidden`. The setVisibility method can take an enum of UPDATE, SHOW, HIDE, or TOGGLE, where toggle switches between all modes.* @quicksaver updated findbar to remember searches globally* @mnphnic make some globally exposed properties enumerable

* Version 3.10* Keeping the lights on with support for Aurora and Nightly builds of firefox.* Bump up minimum version to current ESR release of firefox (version 38).* Max version is 44.* First release by @gkatsev* Keep default Firefox mapping of <PageDown>, <PageUp>, <Left>, <Right>, <Up>, <Down>, <Home> and <End>. This is done to (a) allow default Firefox smooth scrolling and (b) to easily allow web pages to override these keys as they are often done for <Left>/<Right> for navigating image galleries* Add ';#', an extended hint mode for yanking the anchor URL of an element (the URL of the page with the fragment set to the element's 'id' or 'name' attribute)* Firefox compatibility fixes

2015-02-15: Missed Valentine's day * Version 3.9 * We don't override <S-Insert> in textboxes anymore, so it does the default action (which is pasting the clipboard). For Windows and Mac users, this doesn't change anything. For Linux, this means it pasts the clipboard instead of the X11 selection, but that's actually also the default for most GUI apps on Linux nowadays. On the other hand, it also fixes an annying bug where the first completion stayed active when using <S-Insert> in the command line. * Finally remove local file completions from the :open prompt which causes lots of problems (and slowdowns) for many people. If you want them back, use :set complete=slf to get back the old default value. * Make <Ctrl-[> key always behave like <Esc> key (was missing from the command line handler) * Add support for :set hintmatching=fuzzy as a new, alternative way for hintmatching. * Don't display help message in command line for a normal click. * Keep search history and command line history private in 'Private Browsing' mode (also remove old, unused 'private' option) * Fix set encoding= for new Firefoxs (thanks Genki-S)

2014-11-09 * Version 3.8.3 * Many compatibility fixes with new Firefox versions (up to Firefox 35) * Rewrite Makefile so it works on MacOS, also to not include any unwanted files * Only show "Executing Autocommand ..." message on verbose level >= 9 * :set encoding= completion works again on Firefox >= 32. * Push minVersion to Firefox25, as we have some problems on older Firefoxs regarding search * Make 'gH' command work with multiple home pages * Don't prompt user for confirmation when 'delbmarks!' command is invoked in silent mode

2014-02-14: A Valentine's gift * Version 3.8.2 * Fix search for Firefox 27 * When you copy the URL with y, copy it as-is with only space encoded as %20 * Fix :downloads for new Firefoxs (thanks sven) * Add 'yankencodedurl' option, so you can get the old behavior to encode any any non-ASCII character with the encoded character

2013-10-13 * version 3.8 * Many fixes for Firefox 25 (search and alternate tabs were broken) * :tabattach works correctly now * liberator.log() fixes * Add "ssl" field shows SSL connection icon to "status" option (default: off) * Tabs count and it's index in status-line are changed to the current group's tabs count and it's index. * Fixed "TypeError: elem is null" error when scrolling while the page is being loaded * General bug fixing * Set maxVersion to Firefox 26 as we fixed many compatibility issues

2012-12-24: A christmas present * version 3.6 * Replace E4X, as it's been removed from Firefox 18+ * Show confirmation prompt again when opening more than 20 URLs or issuing 'delbmarks!' or 'set! all&' commands * Fix search result highlighting for duplicate or overlapping search terms

2012-04-02: It's not an April's fool * version 3.4 * Fixed a mem leak when closing tabs * Scrolling some divs failed previously when using "j". Should work now. Thanks dom.lobue * hinttags fixes for gmail and other apps * Pressing Tab works correctly in hint mode when the list of hints has been filtered * Search history is accessible again * Display correct status messages when a text search reaches either end of the buffer * Url links in :jump list are clickable again * Gracefully handle unescaped regex characters in 'urlseparator' option * :sanitize now respects timespan values * add '-select' option to :tabclose command for specifiying which tab is selected after closing the current one * Deleting local marks with :delmarks[!] command is working now * Editing password fields with the external editor works again (thanks Gianni)

* version 3.3 * Firefox 8 and 9 compatibility fixes * Reworked mode message handling. The mode message can be shown simultaneoulsy with other messages now. Also changed the visual display of a mode. * Single line message output with :echo are shown again

2011-06-03: * version 3.2 * Compatibility fixes for Firefox 5.x and 6.x. Also bumped maxVersion accordingly * Make search more reliable * Reworked mode handling a bit. While in the end this will be much cleaner, it might have some regressions. Please report! * Better logging: :messages is now the main location for any informative but also error messages (apart from a few very early loading errors, which are still dump'ed to the console since the :messages mechanism might be broken/unavailable in this case). Also show StackTraces on internal errors to faciliate debugging * More consistent messages after (un)successful commands * Remove CSS hack to get rid of tab scrolling when you have many tabs because some users complained about this change. If you want to allow your tabs to shrink as much as possible, but this into your .vimperatorrc file: :js styles.addSheet(false, "mintabwidth", "chrome://*", ".tabbrowser-tab[fadein]:not([pinned]) { min-width: 16px !important; } .scrollbutton-up, .scrollbutton-down { display:none; }"); This could make a nice vimperator plugin with a :set mintabwith=... option. * The heart indiciator for bookmarked pages also shows the correct state now when hovering over a link * Many small bug fixes

2011-04-21: "The Return Of Copy And Paste" * version 3.1 * IMPORTANT: PASSTHROUGH mode has been reworked. Press 'i' to ignore a single key, and "Shift-Esc" or "Insert" to toggle vimperator completely. * IMPORTANT: Ctrl-c/x/v/z do their expected thing now. We managed that by just reshuffling some commands. * IMPORTANT: CARET mode is now activated with 'c' instead of 'i' * IMPORTANT: :viusage, :exusage and :optionusage (and the manually created index of all commands in the helpfile) have been replaced by a single :usage command. * IMPORTANT: The multiline output has been reworked to make it more clearer in which mode you are. This means, that while 'more' is the new default, you have to explicitly close the output window with Esc or 'q'. This has the advantage that you never have to guess if the next key like 'j' is sent to the output window or to the page in case you are at the end of the output. Therefore, also the 'more' option has been removed. * Add 'animations' option to globablly decide if you want the animations in our UI or not. NOTE: Not yet fully implemented for all animations. * Slight changes in how the completion and command output list is graphically displayed * Readded 'bookmark' and 'history' to the 'status' option to get the old information about bookmark state and back/forward possibilities from Vimperator 2.x Thanks lolilolicon. * Vimperator's command line is now a fully supported toolbar. This means you can just right click it, select "Customize", and drag'n drop any items in the command line like the combined back/forward button and get rid of the default address bar. Thanks caisui for the patch! * Boolean options can now also be set with :set option=true/false * Error messages have more consistent wording now, also got rid of Exxx error codes, as we never supported those in the help files anyway. * Vimperator works around Firefox's tab scrolling now. So the minimum tab width is now just 16px anymore, and you are much more unlikely to see scrollbars in the tab bar. * No longer show the command after executing an ex command. Just fade out quickly now and make room for the status items. * Add 'apptab' option for pin/unpin the current tab. * Add 'messagetimeout' option to automatically hide messages after a timeout * :tabclose! behavior is changed: Instead of focusing left tab, force closing of a tab - even if it is an AppTab. * Bug fixes

* version 3.0* IMPORTANT: The statusbar and command line have been merged in a single row as also Firefox 4 hides the statusbar by default now* IMPORTANT: By default, we don't change Firefox's default UI anymore! This was done since Firefox 4 has indeed a very minimal GUI and the Firefox navigation toolbar (with small icons) uses hardly more space than our old status line, but provides so much more (easy bookmarking, better security information, ...)* IMPORTANT: 'guioptions' and 'showtabline' have been removed in favor of 'toolbars', 'scrollbars' and 'tabnumbers' options!* IMPORTANT: Removed 'laststatus' option but add a 'status' option in contrast to decide which elements are shown in the new style status bar* IMPORTANT: Support for configurable hint characters; This basically brings back the old hint behavior for those who prefer it. See the 'hintchars' option. Patch by caisui* IMPORTANT: 'wildoptions' option was removed. Completions are sorted automatically now, and 'autocomplete' is the new option for the removed 'wildoptions=auto'* IMPORTANT: We automatically list completions as you type now. If you have a slow computer, you might want to :set noautocomplete* IMPORTANT: Tab numbers can now be set with :set [no]tabnumbers. Also made them work much more reliable in Firefox4 - especially in combination with other tab related addons like TabMixPlus* IMPORTANT: We do not beep on unrecognized mappings anymore, to make it easier to just use Firefox mappings if the user wants them* IMPORTANT: Removed :redraw and Ctrl-l as it just doesn't make sense to have that feature* IMPORTANT: 'jsdebugger' option was removed, as JS completion should work much better out of the box now.* IMPORTANT: Remove :toolbaropen, :toolbarclose and :toolbartoggle, as toolbars are now managed with the 'toolbars' option* Full Panorama support: :tabgroups can be used to deal with tab groups.* Add 'smallicons' option (default=true) to set small toolbar icons* Add 'g@' mapping for switching to an app tab.* Add '<C-S-n>' and '<C-S-p>' mappings for switching to the next / previous tab group.* Support for sub commands.* Added :set toolbars=addons to allow toggling of the addon-bar. Thanks garbas* Fixed :open sometimes selecting the wrong entry when autocompletions were turned on and the user quickly pressed Tab.* Many small fixes for Firefox4 changes* Lots of restyled content and changed colors (like InfoMsg and ModeMsg)* gu works now better for urls with anchors and GET arguments (like url.com/file?query=foo#anchor)* :bmarks and :history commands support multiple space separated filter entries and match them on both URL and title. Multi filter highlighting for results in the URL and title fields.* remove "URL (additional)" entries from the search results. Only list urls which match either the url or description* :bmarks -k[eyword] to search bookmarks by a keyword* Pressing Escape now clears any previous command output. Scrolling the web page, however, does NOT not clear it anymore (as it used to do)* History, bookmarks and :open output limit the width of the URL column to 50% so you can always see (and interact with hints) the title column as well* Better escape certain characters when yanking links to improve pasting in other applications* :dialog passwords* Fix hints display on some pages like stackoverflow (thanks Jez)* Fix relative paths in :cd* Support rich text editor written by HTML.* Strings starting with a "." are no longer treated as urls by :open et.al.* add *-javascript* flag to [c]:abbreviate[c], [c]:iabbrev[c] and [c]:cabbrev[c].* :history -remove , remove history items by name/tags/url (only by date with :sanitize).* Add image-related hint modes: [m];x[m] for title/alt text, and [m];S[m] and [m];A[m] for saving.* Image hints now work on anything with a *src* tag.* Enable 'hinttags' and 'extendedhinttags' to setlocal* Removed :help version as it wasn't maintained anymore, and added quite a lot of size to the XPI. Users interested in changes can read the Release Notes on the homepage.* Various other bug fixing and refinement

* IMPORTANT: Vimperator's licence has changed from the MPL/GPL/LGPL tri-license to the MIT license.* IMPORTANT: Map.flags has been replaced with individual properties. Mappings defined in plugins with mappings.add will need to be updated.

Version 2.0
Released March 28, 2009
378.0 KiB
Works with
Firefox 3.0 - 3.6a1pre

* version 2.0 * IMPORTANT: For compatibility with vim, guioptions=b has been renamed 'B'. 'b' now represents the bottom scrollbar. * IMPORTANT: :set now sets multiple options, as in Vim. Spaces in values must be quoted or escaped. * IMPORTANT: Due to much improved autocompletion, changed default 'complete' option value to 'sfl', listing intelligent Firefox location bar results. Removed possibility to use 'h' in 'complete'. * IMPORTANT: AlwaysHint mode with ;F mode changed the semantics slightly. * IMPORTANT: command actions now take an args object, returned from commands.parseArgs, as their first argument. This will break any commands not using the args parser explicitly. The old string value is now available via args.string. * IMPORTANT: 'verbose' is now used for message levels. Logging is controlled by the extensions.liberator.loglevel preference. * IMPORTANT: :viusage and :exusage now jump to the help index, use the special versions for the old behavior. * IMPORTANT: renamed Startup and Quit autocmd events to VimperatorEnter and VimperatorLeave respectively. * IMPORTANT: 'verbose' is now by default at 1, set to 0 to not show any status messages. * IMPORTANT: $VIMPERATOR_HOME is no longer used.

2008-08-16: * version 1.2 * IMPORTANT: changed :command to behave like Vim's version. Eg. An alert command specified previously as :command AlertMe alert(args) should now be defined as :command AlertMe :js alert() * IMPORTANT: changed (again) the default keybinding to temporarily disable all Vimperator keybindings from ctrl-q to ctrl-z since many users complained about hitting ctrl-q twice and exiting vimperator * IMPORTANT: removed old :buffers! buffer window, as it was ugly and slightly broken use "B" or :buffers instead * IMPORTANT: input fields are not blured anymore by default after a page has loaded use :set [no]focuscontent to control the behavior (thanks Paul Sobey for the generous donation which made this behavior possible) * IMPORTANT: ctrl-x/a never take possible negative URLs into account, it was just too unpredictable * performance fix by using cached history, should save about 5ms on each pageload * add :emenu for accessing the Firefox main menu items from the command line * add 'shell' and 'shellcmdflag' options * :tabprevious, :bprevious, :tabnext, :bnext and friends now accept a prefix count * add :comclear and :delcommand * add a special version to :hardcopy to skip the Print dialog * add :bl[ast], :bf[irst], :br[ewind] to go to first/last tab * add :bn[ext], :bp[revious], :bN[ext] to switch to next/previous tab * add :pagestyle command to allow for switching between alternate style sheets * add :b# to select the alternate buffer * add :tabduplicate command * new 'urlseparator' option for specifying the regexp used to split the arg to :open, :tabopen and :winopen * :set editor now accepts quoting/escaping to use an editor with spaces in the path * support for :%foo as a count for commands (not yet widely used) * show informative message when a background tab was loaded, especially useful with a hidden tab bar. * new "l" flag for 'complete' to reuse the Firefox awesome bar for getting better completions for :open. Works only when 'wildoptions' contains "auto" and can be a little buggy if you are typing too fast. * new wildoptions=auto option (default off for now), to automatically list completions without the need to press the tab key * new argument parser for ex commands, should tell better error messages when you do things like :bmark -tag=a,b instead of :bmark -tags=a,b * some option values can be tab-completed now; e.g., :set wim= * :bdelete accepts an optional argument now * renamed some :autocmd, mainly BrowserStartup -> Startup and BrowserExit -> Quit * don't pass certain keys like ctrl-o or ctrl-n to firefox in insert mode * keywords in :open have higher priority than local files now * add :set online to control the "work offline" menu item * add :jumps command to list current tab's history * add :setlocal & :setglobal commands, so options can be local (per tab) & global * many small bug fixes

* IMPORTANT! options are no longer automatically stored - use the ~/.vimperatorrc file instead for persistent options * :tabnext and :tabprevious now accept an argument * the count to gT now specifies a relative tab motion like Vim * new :pa[geinfo] command, and ctrl-g and g,ctrl-g mappings (thanks Marco Candrian) * added new :mkvimperatorrc command * remove :redraw and Ctrl-L commands as they rely on FF3 features * :ls, :history and :bmarks output is now hyperlinked * new gb and gB mappings to repeat the last :buffer[!] command, * :q doesn't close the whole browser, if there are more than one windows * new :winclose command * b calls :buffer! now instead of :buffer * [+], [-] and [+-] in the statusline, whether we can go back, forward, or both * :set showtabline now finally works as expected for all values * many other small bug fixes
